I'm having some trouble understanding the following excerpt (from Tanizaki's
_Himitsu_ ):

> 甘い匂いのひやひやとした露が、毛穴へ染み入る皮膚のよろこびは格別であった

"The sweet scented and chilly dew" does what? "the delight of the skin that
penetrated the pores was exceptional"? Help me!

Trouble with a small excerpt from Tanizaki's Himitsu


> ［甘い匂いのひやひやとした露が、毛穴へ染み入る］皮膚のよろこびは格別であった。
